| course it would Kurt the railroads! Of course it would
railroad employees! But the question is, would it hurt
J? Would it hurt your schools, your counties, your
>, your merchants, your ports, your highways? The
ter is YES.
e question arises because the Southeastern Pipe Line
pany (owned by two large oil companies dominated
e Mellon millions of Pittsburgh and the Dawes mil
of Chicago) has demanded the right to condemn pri
property to put such a line through Georgia, and the
eme Court has denied it. Now the pipe lines are about
jk the Legislature of Georgia to give this power, not
to the Southeastern but to any other gasoline pipe
company that may come.

L and according to the whole
[ion the industry. Any saving in

I for their owners — the oil
I Will gasoline pipe lines take
le trucks oS the highways?
I No—the pipe lines would not
fcoline to consumer or filling
lie gasoline would be stored
iorage I tanks, and distribution
made from there all over
largely by truck. These trucks
p lit only have to be more nu
[even larger , and Georgia's roads
I more crowded than now
gasoline trucks.
f What result would gasoline
I have on employment?
I The railroads now employ
POO persons in Georgia. The
tm Pipe Line Company would
lout 100 persons. Yet the loss

past pn out 2,300 of work. railway Hundreds employees of

cally cut the railroads’earnings, making
high taxes!*Forchis* reason, nearly Boards one
hundred of Georgia’s passed County resolutions or
Commissioners have
opposing gasoline pipe lines.
Question: Who would spend more
money m Georgia—the railroads or t e
gasoline pipe lines?
Answer: The railroads. During an
average year, the railroads of Georgia
spend in this nearly forty-five , , mil
state
lion dollars, as follows: $33,672,143 for
wages A- and salaries: $5,571,188 for ma
tenals, ties, . lumber, and ... supplies
cross
bought from Georgia farmers and mer
chants; $3,360,968 for taxes, including
school taxes. All of this money remains
in circulation in Georgia. And while the
railroads spend nearly six million dol

Question: Would gasoline pipe lines
hurt the ports of Savannah and Bruns
wick?
Answer: Yes—the Mayor and County
Commissioners in both localities^ have
presented figures to show that gasoline
shipped in tankers forms a large part all
of the business in these ports. Since
gasoline pipe lines through Georgia
would originate in other states, such
pipe lines would force the abandonment
of extensive wharf facilities in Georgia
ports. Tax losses to the state and county,
and the unemployment of many port
workers would be inevitable results.
Question: Are gasoline pipe lines haz
ardous to life and property?
Answer: Yes—serious accidents have
occurred from the explosion of petrol
eum pipe lines. In Texas last winter a
pipe line blew up for a distance of 32
miles, including a public highway.

Question: Is the construction of gaso
line pipe lines in the best interest of
Georgia’s progress?
Answer: If crippling the backbone of
our transportation system — if jobs putting and
thousands of people out of
into the streets—if the loss of millions
of dollars in revenue now being paid by
the railroads is considered progress —
then it can be of only one type— back

Letter To Old
Man Folks
By Jim Pollywog
FRIENDS
I found another friend today,
And I am richer than before.
I picked him up along my way,
And now I count me one friend
more.
Dear Old Man Folks:
If we find us a new friend it is
like the finding of a new castle
on the hill of life. Friends make
us rich in the heart, in under
standing, and in nearly all of the
other ways. Might we own a hun
dred plantations, gold and silver
a t every turn. Just how poor and
forsaken would we be, without a
friend?
Friends love us with a very
pretty love. In order to have them
we must have loved that way too
it seems impossible that a friend
ship should develop without a
very pretty reason. So imriossible,
we may say, that it rarely ever
happens.
Friends find us and adhere

It is then, when friends meet, that
we can so easily forget about ma

together. So-o-o—.
I found another friend today,
I liked the pretty things he said.
He said he'd watched me all the
way,
The way on which we both had
tread;
And as we talked he told me this,
“I’ve loved you for a long, long
while,
And ere, just now, I can not miss
The greetings of another smile.”
